Lera25 [3.4K]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

The smooth endoplasmic reticulum performs this function.

Explanation:

The smooth endoplasmic reticulum is an organelle made of connected membranes. Its function is to synthesize lipids that the cell needs for different activities. When there is an excess of carbohydrates, this organelle transforms them into lipids to storage them and use them when the body needs them.

How does a noncompetitive inhibitor decrease the rate of an enzyme reaction?
Wittaler [7]

Answer :B. By changing the shape of the enzyme's active site.

check the attachment

Explanation: This is a type of inhibition , in which a molecule binds to another part of the enzyme instead of the  active site.

On binding, it disrupts the  normal hydrogen bond and hydrophobic   interactions holding the enzyme molecule in its three dimensional shape, therefore distorting the conformation and   ACTIVE SITE of the  enzyme (changed it shape).

Since the active site is the precise location enzyme must bind with substrates for enzymatic reactions,this makes the enzyme not fit  for binding with the substrate, therefore  the efficiency  is reduced. No substrate-enzyme complex, and hence no substrate-product  complex for the release of  products, this brings down the turnover rate and eventually

<u>the rate of reaction of the enzyme</u>

Thus, the enzyme function is totally blocked, even in high concentration of the substrate,

melisa1 [442]
Since the hypertonic solution outside has a (solute), there is less space for the solvent, thus there is a (h2O) out of the roots. This will draw H2O out of the roots and into the <span>space outside the roots.</span>

How do you think molecules of food rearrange when they react with oxygen in the cells of your body?​
SVEN [57.7K]

Answer:

In cellular respiration, complex molecules containing carbon react with oxygen to produce carbon dioxide and other materials. Within individual organisms, food moves through a series of chemical reactions in which it is broken down and rearranged to form new molecules to support growth or to release energy.
